Hi Barry, According to IGI on Familysearch.org; Anne, Catherine and Ellen were born in Weaverham in Cheshire to William and Ann. No mention of Joseph though. 1. Anne <Wilbraham> - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 12 APR 1812 Weaverham, Cheshire, England 2. Catherine <Wilbraham> - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 13 JUL 1800 Weaverham, Cheshire, England 3.

To find stuff before 1837 civil reg and 1841 census you have to look for parish records. Some are on www.familysearch.org but often its female members only whose baptisms are listed. Parish records are kept at the relevant county records offices and some may be with the county library service and/or local history centre. Local family history societies may also have transcripts and do searches for a small fee. If you are near an LDS (Mormon) family history site you can order microfilm of the parish you want to view there for a small fee. nell
